Peyton makes it official.

Right move IMHO. Got his ring on the way out. The D in Denver could look much different next year, so probably wise.

Would make sense to grab Tunsil with that first pick now... If you can replicate that Dallas model except with a mobile qb Mularky could actually have something. I think Murray is going to need all the help up front he can get.

I think that has been the plan for awhile. I still think we'll sign a veteran tackle on the FA market to give us some options like trading back if a really good offer comes along. But with the injuries that MM had due to no protection last year, you gotta think that getting him some quality blockers will be the top priority this offseason.

Calvin calls it quits.

Does the Lions a favor in the long term... but for next year, there are no receivers out there

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Coward.

 

[sturg33]

lol

 

[Tapate50]

Falcons land Mack

 

[chop2chip]

Really like the signing. Overpaid for sure, but he fills a big hole on a team that's a fringe contender.

They are going full FA mode. Looks like they are signing Sanu as well.

I was hoping we would get Mack, but at 5-6 mil per year. We just aren't going after tier 1 free agents anymore.

Matt Forte to the Jets

Brock Osweiler to the Texans.

 

[Tapate50]

I would hope we don't offer Sanu much at all, hasn't done much . Would rather see Matthews out wide

Ouch. Bet Denver is scrambling

They gave him 7m per year, lol.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Lamar Miller also to the Texans

 

[sturg33]

Marvin Jones looks like a bargain after that Sanu signing

Have not seen this confirmed signing anywhere.

True, but there are a bunch of reports that this is the case.

Just one stemming from an unknown ESPN reporter, could be agent fodder

Not to split hairs, but Florio literally says " Sanu likely to visit Atlanta; Deal not done" and he doesn't report on how much $. Like I said earlier, the $ from the original report could be agent fodder.

I'd much rather give Matthews the money, and forget Sanu. Not impressed with him much.

 

[chop2chip]

Vaughn McClure reports that he "expects Jerrell Freeman to sign with Atlanta Falcons".

That would be an awesome signing.
